Ex-LA Deputy Sentenced in False Warrant Case

David Anthony Rodriguez, a former Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy, was sentenced to one year in federal prison after pleading guilty to conspiring against rights for submitting a false warrant to obtain GPS tracking data to monitor a private client’s estranged husband during a contentious divorce. The case ties him to a private security company run by a colleague, with other wealthy clients including Adam Iza, and follows a federal investigation into deputies who used law enforcement power for private gain.
